The thing about owls is that they do sort of have this facial disc, which is unlike any other bird. They kind of have a face, more than like a dog or a giraffe. They have this weird, alien face that you can actually make expressive.

More quotes by Zack Snyder
The thing about 'Dark Knight' is its objective is to set Batman into your world, so that you can imagine the moral dilemmas he faces are exactly parallel to moral dilemmas that you would face in this world, today, if you were out there fighting crime dressed like a bat.
Zack Snyder
I imagine the film [300] as if I was a Spartan and I had never seen an immortal or a Persian, or an elephant or a rhino for that matter.
Zack Snyder
I've ended up as a filmmaker who really loves the movie part of movies. That time in my life was a big influence on the kind of movies that I ended up making. I always think I'm going to make a movie that's gritty and real, but then I make a movie that's like an opera. I fight it at first and then that's just the way it is.
Zack Snyder
don't mean to sound weird but I get so immersed in the source material when I'm working on a movie that I kind of lose the line between what I thought of and what was in the book.
Zack Snyder
I aim my movies, as much as I can, at myself. I think that those movies have an interesting quality. They're very movieish. They are movie movies. Like I think Watchmen is a very self-aware movie. 300. Dawn of the Dead definitely. That's really where I've ended up.
Zack Snyder
Music has that ability to be a magical thing, and I was like, maybe music is the vehicle that transports us to that other world.
Zack Snyder
For whatever reason I was always obsessed with the potential of humanity's physicality. Especially since we grew up with such a non-physical philosophy.
Zack Snyder
I always say 300 is a sci-fi movie as much as anything. It's like that could be another planet. It doesn't have to be earth necessarily. That's like when people get so wrapped up in the politics of 300 I always go, By the way, that's a sci-fi movie. It's not really a historical film.
Zack Snyder
I understand the rules of Superman - not necessarily better than anyone else - but better than a normal filmmaker would. After doing 'Watchmen' and digging that deep into the why of superheroes, when Superman is presented to you, I felt like I was in a unique position to say 'I get this guy. I know what this is.
Zack Snyder
Origin stories are really important to me. I just like that sort of stuff and I feel like it makes a lot of sense to the guys, who they are. If you don't have that stuff, it's kind of a one dimensional version of it.
Zack Snyder
I want to - we're working toward Justice League, and I really want to create the - part of the thing I really want to create is the possibility of a world where they could exist together.
Zack Snyder
You know it has all the kind of fun stuff. It has the countermeasures - we always talk about the countermeasures because people are like, What the heck is countermeasures? You know if I shot a missile at it, flares would pop out of those holes and stop the missile from hitting it.
Zack Snyder
You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'
Zack Snyder
I guess for me - in the TV commercial world I was known for shooting locations, beautiful landscapes and things like that - so, it's interesting.
Zack Snyder
I've always been influenced by the human form. I'm a big fan of that Shakespeare quote. I tend to leave out the bad part of the paragon of animals quote, because I have this sort of Ayn Rand aesthetic. It was always one of those quotes that inspired me.
Zack Snyder
I felt like, in the recent past, people have been apologizing for Superman, a little bit, for his costume, for his origins, and for the way he fits into society.
Zack Snyder
We can deny angels exist, convince ourselves they can't be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times. They can speak through any character we can imagine. They'll shout through demons if they have to. Daring us, challenging us to fight.
Zack Snyder
One of the things I think is important about 'Watchmen' is that it have resonance within cinematic pop culture as well as superhero culture.
Zack Snyder
I'm interested in animation. I actually feel like I've learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie.
Zack Snyder
[Writing something original from scratch], the initial process is way different. But once it exists and you start to actually work on making it real, then the approach is kind of the same, for me anyways.
